Photo by @beverlyjoubert. A little five-month-old lion lies on the cool, shaded side of a termite mound and looks out onto the Okavango plains, where scores of red lechwe are grazing. The ears are fully alert and those pupils are enlarged: dilated with a predator’s focus. The cub is too young to be joining the lionesses’ hunts, but he has chosen to hide himself on raised ground where he can see and not be seen. This, and that little tongue licking his lips, shows that his predatory instincts have been awakened. It won’t be that long before he starts to play his part in helping to feed the pride. #littlebigcats#okavangolions
